Optimize allocation throttling

Description

Optimize allocation throttling

Remove mc_lock use from metaslab_class_throttle_*(). The math there
is based on refcounts and so atomic, so the only race possible there
is between zfs_refcount_count() and zfs_refcount_add(). But in most
cases metaslab_class_throttle_reserve() is called with the allocator
lock held, which covers the race. In cases where the lock is not
held, GANG_ALLOCATION() or METASLAB_MUST_RESERVE are set, and so we
do not use zfs_refcount_count(). And even if we assume some other
non-existing scenario, the worst that may happen from this race is
few more I/Os get to allocation earlier, that is not a problem.

Move locks and data of different allocators into different cache
lines to avoid false sharing. Group spa_alloc_* arrays together
into single array of aligned struct spa_alloc spa_allocs. Align
struct metaslab_class_allocator.
